2007 - 100 Books (averaging 408.57 pages)   2008 - 80 Books (averaging 385.50 pages) 2009 - 67 Books (averaging 338.03 pages) 2010 - 129 Books (averaging 378.75 pages) 2011 - 133 Books (averaging 375.98 pages) 2012 - 144 Books (averaging 398.92 pages)

Total books went slightly up in 2017, but slightly down by page average, leaving me at 42,977 total pages for the year, compared to 43,306 in 2016. I might have watched less visual media last year than the year before, but I really didn't read much less. I seem to have reached an equilibrium there the last few years. :)

In other stats: 12/104 were non-fiction this time, the most since I started tracking; 26 were re-reads; and 8 were graphic novels.

To continue last year's additional analysis, 83/104 were identified as part of a series or creative universe of some kind (such as Star Wars). And in terms of genre: 48 were science fiction; 29 were fantasy of some variety (epic, urban, etc.); 8 were mystery or thrillers or drama, mostly in a historical setting; and 6 were romance, again mostly in a historical setting. 13 would count as 'young adult'.

So, on to Year Twelve of book tracking!

Book stats through 108 include 27 rereads, 10 nonfiction and 10 graphic novels.
